Hey! I hang out with those guys at the bar.

That may have worked too. :-)

(The only penalty for quick-brewing is that -1 for improvised tools, and you'd be better off by far increasing Alchemy skill instead of buying the slow techniques if you're really worried about that penalty.)

Good call.

Of course this only would make sense with elixirs for which multiple doses are effective, but still.

Hmmm. Yes. But I'd call that a version of Cosmic (call it "Combined Dose" or "Enhanced Effect") worth around +50% if it's the same potion or +100% if it's different potions.

(For science.)

Sure. Why not. As long as the potions stack or previous effects overwrite or overlap the other. As an aside, if you wanted the potions to stack I'd charge a +100% Cosmic ("Additive Dose") or something like that.

Hmmmm. I'd consider making it +100% - but yeah, sure.
